Installation Guide

Caring for your Shelf

Our durable, family-friendly shelves are built to resist daily wear. Water and heat-resistant, each is finished with a natural oil-based coating for lasting protection. Follow a few simple care steps to keep them looking their best.

Keep it Simple

Dust your shelf regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its natural beauty. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth and wipe along the wood grain. Avoid excess moisture and harsh chemicals to preserve the protective finish.

Act Fast

Accidents happen, but quick action keeps your shelf looking pristine. Wipe up spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using aggressive cleaners or soaking the wood, as this can damage the finish over time.

Preserve the Finish

To maintain the durability and rich appearance of your shelf, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive heat. If minor scratches appear, gently buff with a soft cloth. Over time, a simple reapplication of hard-wax oil (when needed) will refresh the surface without altering the wood’s natural beauty

How long will my order take to ship?

What exactly is my shelf made out of?

Solid Hardwood. No veneer or hollow core material is used in our shelves or tables.

How are knotholes, voids and cracks in the shelf treated?

When it comes to treating knotholes, voids, and cracks on a shelf surface, these imperfections are carefully filled to enhance the wood's natural beauty. Skilled craftsmen typically use materials like epoxy or wood filler to address these areas.

Epoxy Resin: This popular choice offers a clear and smooth finish, allowing the character of the wood to shine through while ensuring durability and stability.

Wood Filler: Often colored to match the specific shade of the wood, wood filler provides a seamless appearance, blending imperfections with the rest of the surface.

The process involves cleaning the affected areas, applying the filler, and then sanding down the surface to achieve a flawless finish. This meticulous approach not only preserves the aesthetic appeal but also guarantees the longevity of the piece.
